(nytimes.com) With unemployment among blacks at more than 15 percent, the N.A.A.C.P. will join several other groups on Tuesday to call on President Obama to do more to create jobs.

The organizations — including the A.F.L.-C.I.O. and the National Council of La Raza, a Hispanic advocacy group— will make clear that they believe the president’s $787 billion stimulus program has not gone far enough to fight unemployment.

They will call for increased spending for schools and roads, billions of dollars in fiscal relief to state and local governments to forestall more layoffs and a direct government jobs program, “especially in distressed communities facing severe unemployment.”

In speaking out on jobs, N.A.A.C.P. leaders say they are not trying to pick a fight with the first African-American president. Rather, they say, they are pressing Mr. Obama in an area where they believe he wants to be pressured. (more…)

Okay, now this is funny!

The NAACP along with other groups call themselves “pressuring” Obama to provide more jobs for Blacks and Hispanics. They are also saying that the stimulus has not done enough to provide jobs.

Oooookay boys and girls. Let’s look at this for a second.

Folks like me have been saying from jump that government cannot create sustainable jobs which is why we are slowly finding out that much of the “saved or created” job figures put out there have been proven false. Sooooo, if government has already failed once, why are they STILL begging government to do more?

Point two. Truth be told, government has already been out-hiring the private sector since the passage of the stimulus package. What more do they want?

Point three. Is government the only provider of jobs to both Blacks and Hispanics?

Government fails on it promise and these people want more of it.

Amazing.
